Turning the Alias into a Real Region

You can use MIDI > Alias > Turn to Real Copy to make a real Region from an alias; its

contents will be identical to those of the original Region referenced by the alias.

Editing the Events in an Alias

It is not possible to edit aliases of MIDI Regions. If you double-click on an alias, Logic

assumes that you either want to edit the original, or turn the alias into a real Region. A

dialog box appears, asking whether you want to create and edit a real copy, or to edit

the original instead.

Click on the desired button; Enter opens the editor window for the original MIDI

Region.

Merging Two or More Regions

If you edit an original Region by merging it with others, any existing aliases are

automatically updated to reflect the changes.

Markers

As their name implies, markers are mainly used to mark particular time positions or

sections in a song. They usually appear as short text strings and (optionally) colored

sections in the Bar Rulers of all Logic windows, or (optionally) as longer texts (of any

length), in the Marker Text window. This makes markers suitable for use as notepads for

storing text comments with a song file.

Only the names of the markers are shown in the Bar Ruler (if there is enough space).

The complete text of a marker can be viewed and edited in the Marker Text window

(see “Marker Text Window” on page 159).

The names of all markers, their bar position and length, are also listed in the Marker List

window (see “Marker List Window” on page 161), which, as its name suggests, is a

specialized event list window for markers. Markers have a specific duration or length,

regardless of the extent of the actual text. A length of one tick means that the marker

extends to the beginning of the next marker, or to the end of the song or folder, if no

other marker follows it.

Apart from the text functions, markers can also be regarded as namable storage areas

for locator positions.
